waterway switch valve 2 comprises: avalve spindle 22 slidably assembled in thevalve body 21, thevalve spindle 22 is slidable between a first position and a second position so as to close thefirst outlet passage 13 or thesecond outlet passage 14; - a
sealing element 23, when thevalve spindle 22 is located in the first position, thesealing element 23 closes thesecond outlet passage 14; when thevalve spindle 22 is located in the second position, thesealing element 23 closes thefirst outlet passage 13; - an
elastic element 24 abutting between one end of thevalve spindle 22 and the inner wall of thevalve body 21; when thevalve spindle 22 is located in the second position, the elastic element is compressed 24; and - a
camshaft 25 rotatably assembled in thevalve body 21, one end of thecamshaft 25 is W shaped and has two connectingincline surfaces 251, the twoincline surfaces 251 are arranged left and right, thevalve spindle 22 is connected to the connecting portion of the twoincline surfaces 251 in driving way, the other end of thecamshaft 25 is rotatably connected in thevalve body 21. - The outlet cover plate of the shower head
main body 1 is disposed with abutton 15, one end of thebutton 15 is connected to apendulum 16 in driving way. - The end of the
pendulum 16 is faced to the twoincline surfaces 251 and thependulum 16 can respectively contact with the twoincline surfaces 251 and push the twoincline surfaces 251 with the forward and backward movement of thebutton 15 to drive the other end of thecamshaft 25 to rotate so as to drive thevalve spindle 22 to slide left or right. - When the
valve spindle 22 is located in the second position, the resilience force of thespring 24 is less than the water pressure to thevalve spindle 22. - The
valve spindle 22 is disposed with a Y shapedsealing ring 221 at the outer side of thesealing element 23, the Y shapedsealing ring 221 is always contacted with the inner wall of thewaterway switch valve 2; when thevalve spindle 22 is located in the first position or the second position, the total force of the water pressure on the Y shapedsealing ring 221 and the elastic force of theelastic element 24 is slightly less than the water pressure on thesealing element 23. - The
first outlet passage 13 outflows shower water, thesecond outlet passage 14 outflows massage water. - When the water supply is turned, the
button 15 is situated in the initial position, thevalve spindle 22 is located in the first position, thefirst outlet passage 13 is open, while thesecond outlet passage 14 is closed, at this time, the shower head outflows shower water. When the user needs to use the massage function, he can press thebutton 15, with thependulum 16 abutting against thecamshaft 25, thecamshaft 25 is driven to drive thevalve spindle 22 to slide. So that thevalve spindle 22 is switched to the second position, the shower head outflows massage water. As thevalve spindle 22 is located in the second position, the resilience force of theelastic element 24 is less than the water pressure on thevalve spindle 22. Therefore, the valve spindle is kept in the second position, it ensures the stable of the outlet state. At the same way, when the top spraying shower head is situated in the massage function, pressing thebutton 15 can switch to shower function. - When the water supply is turned off, no water pressure exists, the
valve spindle 22 resets to close thesecond outlet passage 14 under the action of theelastic element 24, so that the top spraying shower is automatically reset to shower function. The top spraying shower head just needs one button to achieve automatic resetting effect, it has simple structure, convenient usage, and it is a new design and low cost. - As the sealing
element 23 suffers water pressure on the water-flow side and the water-stop side, the Y shapedsealing ring 221 just suffers water pressure on the water-flow side, so that a proper and suitableelastic element 24 can make that the water pressure on the sealingelement 23 is slightly larger than the total force of the water pressure on the Y shapedsealing ring 221 and the elastic force of theelastic element 24. The user can just press the button lightly to drive thespindle 22 to move, it is not only water saving, but also of good hand feel. - The present invention has the configuration: the
button 15 is disposed with alock block 151, the shower headmain body 1 is disposed with a protrudingblock 17 coupled to thelock block 151; when thebutton 15 is located in the initial position, thelock block 151 abuts against the protrudingblock 17 and stopped, so that thebutton 15 can reset accurately to the initial position and would not separate from the cover plate. - The end of the
button 15 is disposed with a reset spring 152. So that the button can automatically reset under the action of the reset spring 152 after pressed. - There are two sealing
elements 23, when thevalve spindle 22 is located in the first position, thesecond sealing element 23 closes the second outlet passage; when the valve spindle is located in the second position, thefirst sealing element 23 closes the first outlet passage. - Two ends of the
valve spindle 22 are respectively disposed with a Y shaped sealingring 221, the Y shaped sealingrings 221 are always contacted with the inner wall of the valve body of the waterway switch valve, so that valve spindle slides more smoothly that making it with well operating hand feel. - Referring to
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the waterway switch valve has one sealingelement 23, the sealingelement 23 closes thefirst outlet passage 13 or thesecond outlet passage 14 with thevalve spindle 22 sliding to left or right. The rest portion of this embodiment is similar to the first embodiment that it would not be further described hereafter. - Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof for carrying out the patent for invention, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the patent for invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
